Crush your enemies, climb the tower of paperwork, or do both at the same time. Intel's Core i7 processor not only makes it possible, it makes it easy. The Core i7 920 has quad cores that run at 2.66GHz and shares 8MB of L3 cache.

Quad cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading. One core handles the usual action on your operating system, while the second can play a DVD on the TV, the third download a file from internet, and the fourth one sends audio to the kids in another room without lags or stutters. All this is made easier with Intel’s advanced Digital Media Boost.

Intel Wide Dynamic Execution With Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously, improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock cycle.

Rating: 5/5The old workhorse.

Pros: I have never used a processor for so long, or with as much satisfaction. It has outlived everything in my life.

When one application of Arctic Silver got crusty, it dutifully notified me by shutting down, only to return as fresh as the day I unboxed it, when I cleaned off the blackened soot and replaced it with a fresh splat.

This processor has loved me longer than any woman.

My father is dead, but the processor he bought me carries on.

Cons: Reminds us of the brick wall the industry hit in terms of processing power.

Other Thoughts: I'm going to OC this thing to a minimum of 3.5ghz for FFXIV: Heavensward, in a caseless setup, using a Zalman copper-finned heatsink so large I could never fit it in any case.

Rating: 5/5Still no plans to upgrade!

Pros: I bought this bad boy in late 2009. It is still competitive with processors released today. Paired with triple-channel memory and a 10K Velociraptor, I've never had to upgrade anything other than the video card.

Rating: 5/56 years later...

Pros: This chip is still on par with the new ones, yes you can get another 20% CPU power with a new model, but this CPU combined with one or 2 of the new GTX 900 series graphics cards, will keep it in the game for quite some time!

Cons: no cons at all

Other Thoughts: A conservative overclock to 3500MHZ with a voltage set at 1.15v, runs nice and cool, and can run any game I have at 60fps easy.

Rating: 5/52008 and counting

Pros: I got this when I was just out of high school. It has dominated nonstop since then. Incredibly impressive and resilient processor. Building a new comp this week, and wanted to give this beauty a proper sendoff!

Cons: In the near decade I've spent with this processor, I can't name a single issue.

Rating: 5/5Still runnin'

Pros: Been running this thing with the factory OC and factory air cooler since 2010. One core runs a little hotter(3-4C) than the others. Oh well. Have run it with a higher clock, but I am too lazy to keep the heat sink clean enough for that business.

Countless hours running full factory OC speeds(2.87GHz). No troubles.First processor I was ever pleased with straight out of the box. I would buy it again.

Cons: Factory cooler needs cleaned often if you have multiple pets/kids.

Rating: 5/5Still chuggin'

Pros: Owned since it came out 6 years ago. This thing is rock solid. I've upgraded my gpu, my ram, hard drives... in fact this is pretty much an entirely new computer. Except the brain. I noticed a few other reviews talking about some hard core overclocking which I'm gonna try to do. Maybe extend its usefulness a few more years. I've been running a solid +25% overclock but I've seen up to +58% ;) Great cpu. It's done more rendering, capturing, and editing than I can count.

Rating: 5/55 years later

Pros: 5 years later I still have no need to update my processor. I've changed graphics cards twice in the past 5 years for my gaming PC. But I'm still running this processor overclocked on air at 4 ghz. i've had it this overclocked since day 1 and its still going strong.I swear this has got to be one of those rare items in processor history that is somehow still relavent and usable after this long.

~45 C while gaming, Prime95 ~tops out at 88 C but is stable for days with 8 threads running at 100%

I'm running Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein TNO on this puppy with 2x GTX 770s in SLI and it screams (Although Watch Dogs does have some optimization issues the developer needs to work out with a patch).

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I'm glad I paid a little more back in 2009 to "Stay ahead of the curve" I didn't realize how "ahead" this chip was when it came out. I still am having a hard time justifying an upgrade to new mobo and chip, since this thing is still chewing up every game I throw at it.
